“How do I redirect my existing twitter stream (ie all the friends I follow, not just the banal updates I spew out) into freindfeed? ie, I never want to go to the twitter web page again, just view all the updates that I would see there, in friendfeed.”

I’m a new feed/twit/face user, but pretty savvy in computers (unix device drivers, enterprise storage systems). I find these services totally baffling.

Even the english used on support pages seems to be the result of a cafeine and modafinil extended work session.
Eg, this from twitter support: “Any tweet beginning with @username is considered a reply. We call tweets with @username elsewhere in the update mentions.”

This results in a parsing error, for me. I think they they mean “tweet” when they say “update” and they need at least an apostrophe after “update”, and preferably quotes around “mention”‘s. So they should have said “…tweets which have @username somewhere other than at the beginning, are called ‘mentions’ “
